Guarded

Hey guys it's Aulene!!! OK so I wrote this piece about a month or so ago. I had a friend; she was my best friend for two years then stopped talking to me with no warning or reason. Through writing this piece I realized that I didn't need her. I could stand alone without someone there to hold me up, and I didn't owe her anything.

She didn't own me.

I just had to stand up for myself.

I know you’ve probably had an experience like this.

Let me know what it was and how it ended.

Just remember, you are stronger than you think.

You just need to realize who is truly there for you.

Comment. I love you guys!!! Thanks!!! <3

Guarded

Take your guard down

It's more fun.

To live life on the edge

She told me to live a little

So I did.

I took down my wall

I lived!

Feeling as free and happy as  I could be

It felt so right

"Just in time" I said

Then it was gone

All my light and support

She left without a word

Leaving me stranded

With a-whole-lot of nothing

Nothing to help me up...

Nothing to keep me standing

So I try.

I try to stand and run

Knowing what I have lost

I bend to you no more

Why?

Why did you tell me to take it down?

You knew

You knew it would hurt

Two years of fun.

All to let me fall

Have a nice life

On the topic of love

Good evening everyone,

I come to you today as a humble, love-struck writer, knowing nothing. That's right, I claim complete and total ignorance. But, still, that's fine. Such ignorance is what led to this next piece.

“Courtesy”

Is it up to me to love all you are?

From your anger to your courtesy,

your perverseness to your jealousy.

There’s no clue on my behalf

As to how it’s come to this.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Love, we’ve been down this road before.

You left me slitting my wrists on the floor.

I’m not sure how to confront this

My mind can’t stop thinking.

Where the hell is this going?

I can’t think that you’d stop thinking of others

Or be more than stupid, friendly lovers.

I can’t stop these thoughts.

They show what I’ll never have.

And so I tell you the truth…

You withdraw all of your lovely charm.

Off goes the hated alarm.

I hate our connection,

But love you regardless.

Here’s to the future.

I’ll drink even if it won’t make you see

That your personality claims me.

Just don’t lose who you are.

That’s all I’ll ever ask for.
